intro

    Hi! My name is Kayla Dailey. I am a Junior studying Biology at the University of Tampa. I was born and raised in a small town north of New York City called Nyack. Family and friends are the most important thing to me; I am the youngest of three with twin siblings Peter and Siobhan. I enjoy painting, shopping, watching tv, and going to the beach. Recently, I began planting many different plants including mint, hibiscus, zinnia and many more. My family always encourages me to try new things which helps me branch out with the different courses I have taken throughout college. In high school I decided the language I wanted to take was Sign Language. When taking this class I was presented with the opportunity of interpreting a wedding reception and ceremony. Being 15 years old and not being fluent in the language I was hesitant, but took the challenge. After weeks of working with my teacher outside of class I went to the wedding and successfully translated the wedding from english to American sign language. 

    When registering for this course I didn't think it is something I would normally like. I have talked to many different people about this class at UT and similar courses at different institutions. Throughout high school I have used photoshop in photography classes occasionally and still like to play around with it when I take some photos for fun. Considering the experience I have in photoshop I feel that will make this course just a little bit easier to get the hang of. I expect this course not only to broaden my understanding of computers and the factors that come into creating art, but also everything that computer softwares are used to create.
